by Dimitris Ioannou

With the release of “The Avengers” less than a month away, Marvel is already planning the return of “Iron Man 3”. Although there is nothing yet known concerning the plot, Marvel and director Shane Black have found their villain. According to Variety, Sir Ben Kingsley will star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the third “Iron Man” pic.

It is still unknown who Kingsley will play, but one thing is for sure. He isn't playing Mandarin. The previous “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau had been setting up the brilliant and wealthy Chinese scientist to be the villain for “Iron Man 3”, but people related to the movie denied that this will be the role for Kingsley.

In the third “Iron Man”, scheduled for May 3rd, 2013, except Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow and also Scarlett Johansson will all reprise their roles. Kingsley is currently filming the adaptation “Ender's Game”, directed by Gavin Hood, alongside Harrison Ford, Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld and Viola Davis.

A new trailer for the 3D superhero movie “The Avengers” hit yesterday the Internet, only a day after the official release of the latest poster, showing the team ready to fight evil, whatever, or better, whoever that is.

In the two minutes and 30 seconds trailer we find New York burned to the ground. Buildings collapse, cars explode and everything is given into chaos. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye join the international agency S.H.I.E.L.D. under the orders of Nick Furry and are expected to save the world.

The new Marvel's blockbuster, directed by Joss Weadon, seems to have everything a viewer could ask. Amazing effects, glorious battles and some of Hollywood's biggest names in the cast. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson will reprise their roles as superheroes, introducing Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson.

The film releases on May 4th nationwide in the USA, but starts its foreign release a week earlier. In some countries like UK the movie will be released under the altered title “Avengers Assemble”.
